Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented J an. 3%, 1912.

Application filed June 8, 1910. Serial No. 565,831.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, INEZ Maonomof BombayView, opposite Colaba station, Bombay, India, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in and Connected with Bracelets and Bangles, ofwhich the following is a specification. u

The object of the invention is to readily combine articles such as apen, pencil, rubber and knife with a bracelet. This I do by providingthe front or body port-ion of the bracelet with hollow or box-likesockets which constitute holders into which these articles or the casethereof may be inserted or withdrawn for use afterthe manner of a pocketpen and pencil case. The exteriorof the case may be ornamented withgems, and is so designed as to form or resemble a part of the braceletas if it were an integral part of the bracelet design, but which is onlya detachable part of the bracelet. The bracelet is formed at one sidewith a socket completely enveloping one end' of the case, when inposition, while at the other the socket is open on the front side, and alittle projection in the rear wall enters a hole or orifice in the endof the case and retains itin proper position. The case can be removed byexpanding the bracelet or by raising, with a slight pressure, that endof the case which fits into the open socket while the opposite end isdrawn out and from the inclosing socket.

In order that my invention may be properly understood and readilycarried into effect, I have hereunto appended one sheet of drawings, ofwhich Figure 1 is a front perspective view of the preferred form ofbracelet and a plan of the underside of the case made in accordance withand embodying my inven tion. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the caseshowing the same detached from the bracelet but remains connectedtherewith by a chain, the case/being provided with pen, knife andpencil. Fig. 3 is a similar View to Fig. 1, illustrating a braceletornamented with only two rows of gems and-the case containing a penciland a knife. Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the case shown in Fig. 3.Figs. 5, 6 and 7 are views of the structure shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 8 is aview, similar to Figs. 1 and 3, of a modified form of bracelet the casebein engraved and otherwise ornamented an containing a pencil only.Figs. 9 and 10 are views of the device shown in Fig. 8.

Referring to the drawings A is the bracelet proper, B the case, C theenveloping socket, D the open socket, E the chain attaching both caseand bracelet, as shown.

The open socket D has a pin-like projection D which enters the hole ororifice D, of the case B, seen more particularly in F i g. 2, and keepsit in position as aforementioned. -The case B in this form of bracelet,is provided with the means for withdrawal and insertion of the pen E,knife F and pencil G, mounted within the case as seen inv Fig. 1r

In Figs. 3, 4: and 7 the means for withdrawal and insertion of the knifeF and pencil Gr are at the side.

In Figs. 8, 9 and 10, the means there shown and employed are the same asthose illustrated in Fig. 1.

The chain E, besides connecting the bracelet A, and case B, acts as asupport, and may be put oneither side, right or left, as desired. Inattaching the case B into the socket C, where the chain is at; tached,the case is first inserted into the socket receptacle C formed in thatend of the bracelet as shown, then the opposite end is then pressed intothe open socket D, a projection formed in the back wall of said socketenters into a hole or orifice D in the end of case, as described.

The bracelet may be made of the cheapest metal and stones, in variouscolors and designs,to imitate real stones, also others, varying fromprecious metals to the dearest kinds such as silver, rolled gold, goldwith precious stones in various designs, Christian names may be written,printed or embossed on the bracelet when desired and such words asRemember, F orget-menot, with photos may further be added.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my saidinvention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare thatwhat I claim is:

1. In combination, a bracelet provided on one end with a flangedsocket-like por-v tion and havin at its other end a flanged socket-likeportlon', facing the first named portion, and having its flange partlycut away, a stud or pin disposed in said last named socket, and a casecontaininga plurality of articles,j having end portions shaped to fitsaid sockets and an orifice to articles having end portions shaped tofit receive said stud. said sockets. 10
